We must not just take it for granted that we are in touch
with God.Joseph and Mary lost a whole
day of fellowship with Jesus because they, “supposed Him to be in the company”
(Luke 2:44).They took for granted
something of which they should have made sure.

Psalms
46:1God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble.

The world we live in today is full of pitfalls. Some like
intricate webs waiting to entangle us, others like hidden sink holes waiting to
swallow us up when we least expect it. Then there are those that temp us to
view its wander and beauty like the Grand Canyon, only to reach is rock edge and
loose our footing and plunge to our death.

When we face troubles in our life that seem to leave us
helpless, and hopeless there is one who can rescue us. Peter decided to leave
the safety of his boat and head to Christ. All was going well as long as he
kept his eyes on Him; but when he decided to look at the raging sea (the world
and its destructive devices), he started sinking into its dark, cold torrent.
What did he do? He cried, "Lord, save me." Matt.
14:30. What happened next? Jesus rescued him, "And
Immediately (italics added) Jesus stretched forth his hand, and
caught him..." Matt. 14:31a.

As a child of God, when it seems all is hopeless, and there
is no way out, just remember, Jesus is there with an outstretched hand waiting
for you to take hold of it. He doesn't want you to fail, but the
flourish.
